Balance Bar

Brynwood Partners has sold Balance Bar, a portfolio company since 2009, to NBTY, a nutritional product provider and portfolio company of The Carlyle Group. Brynwood had carved out the nutrition/energy bar company from Kraft Foods through its Brynwood Partners VI fund. Balance Bar will now fold into NBTY's product line, which includes MET-Rx, Vitamin World, and Nature's Bounty. NBTY was acquired by Carlyle in a public-to-private buyout in 2010.
